RAISE your glasses and toast to love this 2020 as VIVA Films reunite JC Santos and Bela Padilla in this exciting screen project, “On Vodka, Beers, and Regrets.”
The movie follows the story of Jane Pineda, a washed up actress and former child star whose career hits rock bottom. Struggling to get movie roles and trying to escape from a big scandal, Jane seeks comfort in alcohol. Then one drunken night at a bar, she meets Francis, vocalist of a band. Suddenly, things started to change for Jane. She now finds comfort in Francis’ company. For his part, Francis, who’s with Jane drunk or sober, is more than willing to love her. But will his love be enough to keep Jane or will his love fall short and in the end, he will lose her?
“On Vodka, Beers, and Regrets” is the third on-screen pairing of Santos and Padilla. Their first movie was “100 Tula Para Kay Stella,” an official entry to the Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino. Their tandem was such a huge hit that there was a clamor to see them paired anew, so in 2018, moviegoers were treated to another Pista ng Pelikulang Pilipino official entry—”The Day After Valentine’s.” But as it was with their previous collaboration, hopeless romantics were left brokenhearted yet again.
So this 2020, will those lovesick fans finally get the happy ending they want to see for JC and Bela? Or will there be another collective sigh of dashed hopes and broken hearts courtesy of “On Vodka, Beers, and Regrets?”
“On Vodka, Beers, and Regrets” comes out in cinemas Feb. 5. (PR)
